About Frank Wm. Link

FRANK WM. LINK and the
SHADOW MOUNTAIN EXPRESS BAND
Singer, songwriter, performer, Frank Wm. Link, has
been chasing a dream most of his life, he lives to
share his music with the world. Frank writes from
the heart and brings those emotions across through
his songs. Frank’s genre is a unique combination,
it has been described as a mix of Americana,
country alternative, blues, rockabilly, easy
listening and southern rock. Frank likes to call
it a mud-swamp sound from down south. His voice
and style has been compared to Kris Kristofferson,
Jimmy Buffett, Waylon Jennings, Alan Jackson and
the band has been compared to Credence Clearwater
Revival, Santana and others depending on the
song.
Never losing touch with music while taking time
out to raise a family and be on the road as a semi
truck long haul driver, Frank took advantage of
those years to write his songs and music, in fact
he has written a binder full, created from life’s
experiences and feelings over time. Also, as
being a truck driver Frank found opportunities to
perform over the years at various truck stops, and
when home he sometimes entertained for charity
events, it was a way of keeping his love for
singing, playing and performing part of his life.
Over the years Frank has won several song writing
competitions in Nashville, he also wrote a DJ’s
jingle for a KY radio station, still being played
today. Not so long ago he performed in Nashville,
TN at the well-known Douglas Corner Café, which
ended with a standing ovation from the audience
and a contract for his first album, “How Long Has
It Been”. It was then that Frank felt his dream
burn even deeper into his soul and he decided to
trade in his everyday work life as a long haul
truck drive and make the best of the years he has
left doing what he truly loves, what he believes
is his purpose in life, getting his songs heard
and out there for others to enjoy, and now at age
59 that is exactly what he is doing.
Since relocating to CA, he put together his band
called Shadow Mountain Express; either as a solo
act or with the band, he has performed at various
Northern CA venues: Vega’s Nightclub in Old
Sacramento, MARR’S second Saturday downtown
Sacramento, Bocas Restaurant & Lounge, Elkhorn
Station in Woodland, Roseville’s Border’s Books
and Music, West Coast Songwriter events in the
Sacramento and bay areas, as well as private
parties. In 2010 Shadow Mountain Express Band was
in the line up to open for Loverboy at a northern
CA gulf coast benefit concert. You can hear
Frank’s recordings daily on www.IMRADIO.com, a
large international, internet radio station.
Frank recently performed all 5 days at the Dixon
May Fair in northern CA. (Don’t miss him next year
at the Dixon May Fair 2012). Shadow Mountain
Express is the official band for the Rio Linda
Farmer’s Market & Peddler’s Fair, June thru
October, playing classic rock covers to originals,
every Thursday, from 5-8 pm, Rio Linda Depot Park
and their following just keeps growing.
In the past two years since living in California
Frank has produced two albums, the first being
“I’m Standing At the Crossroads”. This album
contains songs he first wrote at the young age of
17, all the way up to the present, and most
significantly it reveals a new sound for Frank, as
he moves away from the Nashville beat of his first
album and creates a unique rhythm all of his own.
Secondly, released last Valentine’s Day is
“Exposing the Heart”, love songs written from the
soul - these are enjoyable heartfelt songs to
enjoy with or without someone, they are just good
easy listening tunes. Both albums are available
on I-Tunes, CD Baby, and Amazon on-line stores.
Recently out is Frank and the band’s “Live” from
The Dixon May Fair 2011), an absolute awesome
collection of Frank’s top 15 tunes performed live,
and his latest CD is now available wherever he is
performing, “Live” from Rio Linda Depot Park, a
collection of 16 songs that his Rio Linda audience
knows all so well.
Either as a duo or a band, Frank stays busy
promoting his music and the band in Sacramento and
greater surrounding areas every chance he gets.
He never gives up on his dream to share his songs
and music.
